Hello,
I would like to use a machine with XP as a router since i dont have a router for the time beeing.
The situation is this: I have one pc with xp SP2 that has an dsl modem atatched to it and connected to the internet. In my network all computers have static ip's and the computer with the modem is the gateway for all other computers. (i have ics active in the computer with xp so tha the other computers in the network can acces the internet). I dont want to use IIS but instead i want to redirect calls on port 80 to another computer inside the network, as well other ports to other computers in the network. Basicaly what i want is that my machine with XP (the one that does the ICS) work as a router - forwarding ports to the network. Notice that the XP firewall is active for both nic (ethernet and dsl modem).
Thanks.
Just set the Windows XP computer to pass port 80 to whatever computer you want. This is handled through ICS. Don't remember the exact steps off the top of my head and I'm headed out (booted into my Linux box right now.) Look around in the ICS settings, it is not hard to find as there is not that many. There is a list of services that you can setup or you can add services. Just pick the port and enter the IP address of the destination computer. If you want to access this computer from outside your network remember that you will have to setup the DSL model to pass port 80 to the XP computer. You don't need IIS.
